Casting gloves

<< < (4/6) > >>

Ben, try any Mountain bike brand gloves, they have proven to be excellent.
Brands like Troy Lee Design, Fox, 661, Oakly, Dakine, Race Face. Most are built with extra grip on the index and middle finger for brake lever control (in our case casting control).
All of these should be available at any good bike shop.
Hope that helps :D

Greg Burt:
Picked up some 'Fluid' gloves today at Anaconda, at 50% discount makes it $20 :D

Some bike gloves are reinforced at the knuckles and finger joints so they will be too bulky for fishing. Also some of these bike gloves are very thick and uncomfortable for use in the tropics. Avoid these bulky and thick gloves if possible.

Yes some are reinforced through those area's (some to the extreme of full knuckle carbon guards avoid those) however they are all made to dry quickly and provide grip while wet. Obviously they were not designed for fishing but they were designed to provide excellent grip and finger control (brakes) under some harsh conditions.
Most bike shops will have a decent range of gloves (here in AU, NZ, US and CAD) far more then compared to fishing shop ranges of casting gloves, so you will be able to try before you buy.
